Here’s another fact: if you’re a woman looking to get wed, Burkina is a great place to find a mate. In the east and center of the country, the dominant tribe — who once had a fairly large empire starting in 1600 — is the Mossi. Young Mossi women want (or are forced) to marry older, prosperous men. Since these old men take many wives, most of the younger men just can’t find a wife so they would be thrilled to marry YOU!!!
